The All Blacks make several changes to their pack for the third Test against South Africa, including dropping experienced hooker Codie Taylor. Hooker Asafo Aumua is promoted into the match-day group, according to reports covering New Zealand’s team selection.

The updates are part of New Zealand’s broader reshuffle of the forward unit ahead of the weekend Test. Other outlets report the same core decision to leave Taylor out and give Aumua an elevated role, as the All Blacks adjust personnel for the next contest in the series. The coverage emphasizes the squad alteration rather than providing detailed tactical explanations for the selection changes.
